Hello, I was just wondering how sensitive are shutter blades to break or how can i accidentally cause any damage to them. I purchased Nikon FM2(n) in a very good shape to try film photography and by mistake, I touched the blades while loading a film. The shutter is working just fine, I just have...

Hey everyone, I recently felt a bit neglectful of my K1000 since I have been shooting and experimenting with my digital set up. I threw a bunch of rolls of film into my bag and headed off to the mountains for day of hiking with it. After about 4 photo's I went to advance the film but it made...

Hello everyone, my first post here. I have been developing 35 mm film for a while. Recently, I had a fixer go bad (foggy negative) so I mixed a new batch from the same concentrate. Today, I also mixed a new batch of dev powder (Xtol, standard concentration) and developed an Ilford HP5+ 400. No...

Hi all, I recently had two rolls of Kodak 400 color film developed at a store. I dropped the film off at the store and had them mailed to me. One of them had gone through X-rays multiple times before being developed but came out fine. However, the other came out blank/transparent with not...

Hey all, So I recently came into possession of a old Polaroid film camera with a Polaroid Wink-Light flash attached, (I am not sure what type of Polaroid camera this is). The back where you load the film says it uses 2000 speed film. I have been looking all over the internet this morning trying...

Has anybody used this film out of California? I just bought a sample pack of 6 rolls (3 100 speed, 3 400 speed) to try. They claim very fine grain. The interesting part is that the price (with shipping) works out to about $4.25/roll - which is a lot cheaper than anything else I found...

Hi there, I recently got a vintage camera which has 'Matahari 35' in the top right. However I can't find mention of this brand anywhere and I'd really like to know the year/history around it. I've posted some pics below.... Thanks for any help you can provide! ALEX JACKSON has shared 1 photo...

So, a few months back I picked up a Vivitar v3800N camera from a yard sale for a few bucks. The lady didn't know if it worked or not, so I decided to test it; however once I shot the roll of film and got it developed, the pictures didn't turn out, and I'm sure not if I did something wrong, if...

I found this Argus in an antique store the other day and was considering purchasing it. There were no clear model indicators on it and I haven't been able to find it online. The lens is a f/3.5 50mm Coated Cintar. If anyone knows the model, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hello all. I joined this site because A. I want to take up photography and B. I haz questions. :bouncingsmileys: Oh look I've already figured out how to work the smileys! Anyway my OCD dictates that I must put my questions in numbered lists so here goes. 1. If I have a photograph that is...

Good afternoon everyone, I'm posting this in the film thread, because I shoot film (B&W). I know it's applicable to digital photography, but I've found film photographers tend to have slightly different ideas of methodology. I would welcome insight from anyone, though. I've been feeling...

hello fellow photographers! I'm in search of the correct adapter for my 50mm lens to switch over from my film camera to my digital one. The lens is canon and my digital camera is a canon rebel T5. Any suggestions would be great!

Hi, I'm new to photography and have recently been given a Kodak Colorsnap 35. Could someone possibly link me to a film that would fit the camera. I know I need a 35mm but will any 35mm fit? Thanks

Hey everyone! My name is Alex and I'm hardly a professional. I've been doing photography as a passive hobby for about five years. A couple months ago I got into film and it changed the way I look at photography as an art. I'm really enjoying photography in a way I don't think I was able to...

Hi all! I got some film of mine developed at a lab and I've been seeing these weird shadow-y marks around the sprockets. the lab uses Fuji chemistry and I shoot both Kodak and Fuji, weirdly enough I only see it on Kodak film. Let me know if you have any ideas of what it could be!

I managed to come across my mom's Pentax MG a few days ago. I've always been interested in shooting film so I picked up some low-end film and batteries today. The camera batteries are working properly, however I can't get the shutter to fire. Earlier I couldn't get the wind lever to work...

Hi, I've been reading about dodging and burning and found it difficult to understand; "dodging decreases the exposure for areas of the print that the photographer wishes to be lighter, while burning increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker." If the exposure is...

Hello there, I am kinda new to photography but I know the basics. I hunt a lot and i want to make some films. I know how to edit and i got a Nikon D5300 with basic lens and a Røde mic. I recently bought a cheap tripod that i can carry around, havent recieved it yet so I dont know it will do the...

Hey there! This is my first thread on this website, so please correct if this is the right place to post this photo. Anyway, I saw a photograph recently of the musician J.cole, I checked out the photographers other worked and I fell in love with it! From what ive determined he takes most of his...

I'm not new to photography but new to film photography. My dad got me a bunch of film cameras a few years ago for really cheap at an estate sale and I finally got around to taking them to my local camera shop a few months ago to find out if any of them worked, however now I completely forget...

This is a total shot in the dark but I thought I might as well try. I am looking for 35mm color film (regular, not for slides) that expired in the year 1963 for a project using exclusively 1960s film. Willing to negotiate price.

Mamiya RZ67 110mm 2.8 At F4 Tmax 100 developed in Xtol for 8 minutes Einstein with 60 inch soft above on boom C&C welcomed. Still learning to mix strobes with film.

Hi everyone, I've been putting a lot of thought into buying a new camera over the past couple of months. Currently I own a Canon 60D which serves me well, but its bulkiness and weight make it a pain to bring along on trips, especially when hiking. I also have access to film SLRs that I use...

Hey folks. I've been working on creating a way to process my digital photos to emulate (as accurately as possible) the look of Kodachrome 64 film. So far I haven't come across any presets online that resemble Kodachrome much at all (even though they claim to) so I set out to pull it off myself...

Is this even possible? Examples? Tips? I shoot 35mm and will be soon spending time in Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier NP's.

I'm taking a last minute trip to Yosemite and I have some aerochrome type film and I was unable to get a true yellow and orange filter to get the proper effects but I do have an 85a and 85b filter my question is if I stack these two filters will I have a true orange or something close to it? I...

Hey guys, So I bought a Canon A1 the other day with a 50mm lense and shot my first few rolls of film at a party and in the city at night. What I find strange my light meter and the exposures that its giving me. So I shot at ISO400 at the party which was indoors with decent lighting, and it...

Hey guys, I am a 23 year old photographer based in Orange County, CA. I'm currently working on a film photo project. I shoot with a Minolta X-700 for the most part as I find it to be sturdy and easy to travel with. I'm excited to check out the forums and get to know the community! Check out...

Hi, new here so, I hope I'm posting this in the correct section. I impulse bought a Pentax P3 from a pawn shop for 10 bucks, not expecting it to work but, thought I could repair it. Perhaps, you all can help. The film advance lever is stuck at the beginning (it clicks back to the first part but...

Hi there, I'm new to photography, and am wanting to upgrade from just taking photos on my iPhone. I've looked around online a fair bit and am quite interested in mirrorless cameras, as well as film cameras. I'm hoping to find some opinions on which of these camera types would be best/better to...

Hi, im new to film slrs. i know its a bit late in the game, but i recently purchased a Nikon F4 slr. I couldnt help but notice the depth of field preview button. I started using it in manual mode and soon came to realize that it threw off my exposure meter. I understand the basics of this...
